Moody's reviews for possible downgrade 52 certificates in Lehman's small balance commercial real estate deals

04 Feb 2011

Approximately $1.4 billion of asset-backed securities affected

New York, February 04, 2011 -- Moody's reviews for possible downgrade 52 certificates in Lehman's small balance commercial real estate deals

Approximately $1.4 billion of asset-backed securities affected

Moody's Investors Service has placed on review for possible downgrade 48 tranches issued in six securitizations of small business loans and four tranches issued in three net interest margin securities transactions. The deals are serviced by Aurora Bank FSB, formerly known as Lehman Brothers Bank, FSB. The loans are secured primarily by commercial real estate.

RATINGS RATIONALE

The rating actions are due to a significant rise in 60 days or more delinquencies, including amounts in foreclosure and REO, from a range of 10%-13% of the current pool balance in February 2009 to 20%-25% as of the January 2011 distribution date. The 2005-1 deal experienced an increase in 60 days or more delinquencies from 4% to 8% of the current pool balance.

The methodology used in these rating actions included an analysis of the loan collateral to arrive at a range of estimated lifetime losses. This range of net losses was then evaluated against the available credit enhancement provided by the reserve account, overcollateralization, and excess spread. Sufficiency of coverage was considered in light of the credit quality of the collateral pool, industry, geographical and loan concentrations, historical variability of losses experienced by the issuer, and servicer quality.

The methodology used for the net interest margin securities included evaluating the likelihood of paying interest and principal from excess cash and prepayment fees from the respective underlying small business loan transaction. The potential cash inflow was considered in relation to accumulated interest shortfalls and reserve account deficits.

During the review period, we will project expected defaults on the underlying pools of loans using delinquency roll rates and an estimate of market recoveries. The Aaa volatility proxies will also be determined. Driving factors of the Aaa volatility proxy for each deal are the credit quality of the collateral pool, the historical variability in losses experienced by the issuer, the servicer quality as well as the industrial, geographical and obligor concentrations.

Based on our revised expected losses and Aaa volatility proxies, Moody's will evaluate whether the available credit enhancement adequately protects investors against future collateral losses for given rating assignments.

Primary sources of assumption uncertainty are the general economic environment, commercial property values, and the ability of small businesses to recover from the recession.

Other methodologies and factors that may have been considered in the process of rating these transactions can also be found on Moody's website. Further information on Moody's analysis of this transaction is available on www.moodys.com. In addition, Moody's publishes a weekly summary of structured finance credit, ratings and methodologies, available to all registered users of our website, at www.moodys.com/SFQuickCheck.

Please see ratings tab on the issuer/entity page on Moodys.com for the last rating action and the rating history.
